April 16: Blue Umbrella Day

Blue Umbrella Day is observed on April 16 and aims to raise awareness about the safeguarding of boys and young men from sexual violence. This global initiative fosters open conversations and emphasizes that boys also face abuse and require strong support. The day encourages individuals and communities to come together under a symbolic blue umbrella to challenge harmful norms and promote respectful help. Typical actions to celebrate include wearing blue, starting honest discussions, supporting child-safe organizations, and creating visual art related to care and respect. The campaign was initiated by Family for Every Child and has gained international traction, highlighting the need for better protection and services tailored to boys affected by harm.
